Memorable trip

Fourteen of our group had a great time at Bhaktapur Durbar Square. With contact through the Internet with Boundless Adventure, we booked the tour. We gave all the responsibility to Boundless Adventure for our tour, and they obeyed us appropriately. Our tour was for one day, and in addition to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, we visited Patan Durbar Square on tour. A Hiace arrived at our hotel in the morning, picked us up, and took us to Bhaktapur Durbar square. We visited every ancient historical art and architecture in the area. We also tried Juju Dhau and some Newari cuisine in Bhaktapur. After Bhaktapur Durbar Sqaure, we headed to Patan Durbar Sqaure and visited some sites. Even though the journey was short, it was pleasant and memorable. Thanks to Boundless Adventure for providing us with a worry-free tour of Nepal.

Discovery of rich history of Bhaktapur Durbar Square

I was in Nepal for one week for business purposes, and my work was finished before the deadline. So, I preferred a Kathmandu day tour, and my friend suggested contacting Boundless Adventure. I talked with Mr.Dambar, and as per my preference, he arranged everything for my Bhaktapur Durbar Square tour. I had a knowledgeable and friendly guide; he provided me with every small detail of the Bhaktapur Durbar Square. The highlights of visiting the Bhaktapur Durbar Square were the central Durbar Square, 55 Window Palace, Nyatapola temple, and art galleries and museums. I also tried some local cuisine on the Bhaktapur, which was very delicious and tasted completely different. I am thankful to Boundless Adventure for allowing me to visit Bhaktapur in such a short time. Next time, I will come to Nepal with more time and choose you for my next trip.

Enchanting trip

On the fifth Anniversary, my wife and I chose a short tour as we had little time. But my wife had already booked a tour of Bhaktapur Durbar Square in Nepal through Boundless Adventure. She also requested to provide a hotel; thus, the team of Boundless managed everything on our behalf before our landing in Nepal. Our one day was complete sightseeing at Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Also, to enhance our experience, Mr.Dambar included a tour of Patan Durbar Square at the same price. Visiting the ancient area of Bhaktapur and Patan Durbar Square with my wife was so pleasing. We tried various unique dishes in Bhaktapur and Patan. We spent quality time, even if it was for just one day. We were satisfied with the customer service of the crew members of Boundless Adventure. And we’ll remember the team for our future tour of Nepal.
